Bridges for Peace IN ACTION
YESHUA (JESUS) WAS TEACHING THE MULTITUDE and suddenly He stopped and said, “I feel compassion for the multitude because they have remained with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat” (Mark 8:2). He goes on to perform an amazing miracle in which 4,000 men (plus women and children) are fed with seven loaves of bread and a few small fish. There are several accounts of the feeding of the 5,000 and the 4,000 in the Gospels. Each time, Yeshua is concerned with the people’s need for food. He doesn’t send them away hungry. He feeds them.

A short while ago, Israel Air Force [IAF] aircrafts targeted six terror sites in the Gaza strip. Among the targets are two terror tunnels and three smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip, and a weapons manufacturing site in the north of the Gaza strip. The two terror tunnels were dug one kilometer from the security fence, for the purpose of infiltrating Israel and executing terror attacks against Israeli civilians, or Israel Defense Forces [IDF] soldiers. Direct hits were identified. The strike comes in response to the deadly rocket firing toward Israel over the past 24 hours, which resulted in the death of a foreign national in Netiv Ha'asara earlier today.

Ynet reported that on Monday [March 15], the new Hurva, located in the Jewish Quarter, was inaugurated. While the Jewish people were excited to see the synagogue rebuilt, following decades of lying in ruins, Hamas used the synagogue as a call for Palestinians to riot, which took place earlier this week, according to JerusalemOnline.com news. In addition, Haaretz reported that an Islamic group cited a Jewish prophecy linking the Hurva to the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple.

According to the State Department Web site, Clinton said in response to a Fox reporter’s question on the idea that relations with Israel were the worst since 1975, “I don’t buy that.
